A day will come when

Finding yourself alone

You will come to terms

With your true self

 

You’ll come to the mirror

And welcome your face

And be kind to the person

You see in your reflection

 

A time will come when

You’ll grow to understand

The value of your own friendship

And the wisdom of your own advice

 

You’ll curl up in a comfortable chair

With a cup of forgiveness, and a good book

You will read it a while

Then turn out the light.
